Dear Pastor, I don’t recall the playing of music in Christian worship in the New Testament; and preceeding that, in Amos where God banned the playing of musical intruments and again in chapter 3 of Daniel where all the musical instruments are pl;ayed over the blood of the prophets. In response to an artical posted on February 28 2008 R.Scott Clark.
